BARNSLEY joiner Lee Parsons and his bride-to-be are looking forward to a dream wedding abroad after scooping a five-figure cash prize in a competition.
Lee, 49, was approached on the site he is working on by BOTB presenter Christian Williams who told him that he’d won a Mercedes SL55 AMG worth £25,000.
But with plans for a wedding to partner, Laura, already underway, Lee decided to take the cash alternative that BOTB offers.
“I was astonished when Christian approached me on the site but I saw the BOTB badge and recognised him from videos,” said Lee.
“Laura and I were planning to get married in Greece in 2024 but this means we should be able to bring it forward a bit, which is great.”
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
